About This Item

 

Silver Medal - 2023, San Francisco Chronicle

In French, Vin Gris, Grey Wine, is a simple term for a light yet complex dry pale pink rosé wine.

Tasting Highlights

  • Dry, unoaked pale rosé (100% Pinot Noir)
  • Delicate aromas of orange blossom, raspberry, and watermelon
  • Strawberry on the palate
  • High crisp acidity, subtle minerality
  • Light body, complex finish

 

Food Pairing Notes

Perfect by itself as a refreshing apéritif, the wonderful fruit-forward flavors and bright acidity of this elegant dry rosé bring great versatility with acidic and light fatty food, like tomatoes, avocados, and pimento-based dishes, especially with seafood, eggs, charcuterie, pasta, and chicken. Try it with:

  • Summer salads with heirloom tomatoes or an upscale Hawaiian Poke or Salade Niçoise
  • Guacamole, creamy hummus, and Romesco dishes
  • Ceasar's salads or chicken tacos
  • An elevated version of a grilled cheese and ham sandwich
  • Light pasta salads or sushi
  • Veggie pizza
  • Grilled and sautéed seafood, especially wild salmon, tuna, and shrimp.
  • Classic brunch fares, such as smoked salmon egg Benedict with hollandaise sauce, cheesy frittatas, or omelets
  • Best greens and vegetables: avocado, heirloom tomatoes, lettuce, green peas, asparagus, chickpeas

 

Winemaker’s notes

Head Winemaker Brian Hosmer and his talented cellar team artfully craft our sustainably-grown fruit into an array of wines to charm every palate. Only carefully selected grapes are used for our Proprietor's Reserve label. The  Pinot Noir grapes were gently whole-cluster pressed with minimal skin contact. The result is a clear pale pink juice from a black grape, fermented as a white wine in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures, with minimal lees contact, to preserve the fresh and fruity characteristics.

 

Serving suggestions

Best served chilled at 45–50 °F. It’s not necessary to decant.
